Cabman’s Shelter - London Guides

SUPPORT MY CHANNEL ON PATREON ➜ Dotted around London are these little green huts. They are actually cabman shelters designed so that Taxi drivers (and hansome cab drivers in the old days) could have somewhere to go and rest and have some reasonably priced refreshments. Cabman shelters are now listed buildings and you can still buy snacks at them but you are only allowed inside if you are a taxi driver.
